RULES AND CONDITIONS FOR USAGE (ALPHABETIZED)

AISLE RUNNERS: Runners are not permitted as they can burn the grass. You may line your pathway with flower petals – now a requirement on most wedding lawns. ALCOHOL: You may serve beer and wine to your guests on our property but not hard liquor. No exceptions. We forbid the service of alcohol to minors! ATTIRE: We recommend you advise your guests to wear shoes suitable for a garden setting, or bring along flip-flops to change into later, and to bring a wrap in case of a cool evening. BRIDAL PARTY STAGING AREA: BRIDE & ATTENDANTS ~ The StoneHouse will be opened for your use the day of your ceremony, so you may dress in there. This space is not suitable for hairdressers or makeup technicians; please have these services performed off-site. GROOM & ATTENDANTS ~ We do not have inside space available for your use. It is advisable for you to dress at your home/hotel prior to coming to the estate. CANDLES: We live in a high fire danger area, so we do not permit any open flames! If you want candles on your dinner tables, please consider the new “flameless” candles: they are realistic, put out good light, come on automatically at the time set, and most can run 100 hours on a small battery. IDEA: After your wedding they would make excellent gifts for members of your bridal party, as you would be passing on to them a memory of a time you all enjoyed together. CATERERS: Please discuss with us beforehand the caterer you will be using and his/her requirements. If you wish, we can refer you to excellent, reliable caterers. Four parking spaces are designated as “catering staff parking.” (Additional staff must carpool and park down at the Lake.) The level pad behind our house, with water and electricity, is reserved for your catering wagon/mobile kitchen. PLEASE NOTE: We do not allow any vehicles or catering wagons in The Party Pad or into the gardens, nor do we permit them to park on the asphalt driveway in front of our private home. (Thank you for respecting our privacy.) Should your caterer wish, he/she may use our 16’ BBQ Wagon. Although it is not obvious, beneath our BBQ is a massive concrete pad which supports the weight of the BBQ and insures it stays level, so this BBQ cannot be moved. Caterers must bring their own tables, cooking/serving equipment, and extension cords. . There is to be no food prep in The Snak Shak – this building is for storage only! . Please make provisions for chilling your wines; The Snak Shak refrigerator is small and not suitable for this kind of weight; you may use the Chest Freezer for this, if you like. . PLEASE, before you leave after your Wedding Reception Dinner, make certain ALL FOOD SCRAPS are collected and disposed of. (Help us keep the local bears and raccoons away!) CHILDREN: There have been times we have had guests on the property whose children were not properly supervised. Children under the age of 18 are your complete responsibility. Please know where your children are at all times and make certain that they clearly understand the rules. (They are not allowed near the Lake or Pond!) And, please, no jumping off the stone walls!

TO THE KIDS: There is plenty to do here, so you won’t be bored. After the ceremony you may, with adult permission and supervision, use the trampoline, swings, horseshoe pit, and lawn sports equipment. You may NOT go near the Lake or Pond, unless your group is planning to swim and has posted a lifeguard on the beach. Make sure you walk and play in open areas like on lawns, patios, and in clearings. Do NOT go into tall grass or brush as there are snakes and other creatures living in there. That is their home, so please do not disturb them. Also, in these off-limit areas, you may come in contact with Poison Oak. For your safety and to keep dust down, no running please! PLEASE RESPECT NATURE! We would greatly appreciate it if you did not disturb plants, rocks or other natural gifts. (You MAY take all the pinecones you want!) Please do not nail anything to trees or hang any ropes, swings, or hammocks from tree limbs. Please do not walk or step in flower beds. Thank you. CHILDCARE: If you expect several children to attend your event, and wish to free up their parents so all can have a good time, I know GREAT childcare experts! They have church nursery experience, and bring along myriad art supplies with which to keep the little ones happily occupied. During your wedding, kids are kept busy in The Rose Garden. When you later move your guests to The Rose Garden for refreshments, the children are relocated to The Wedding Lawn to play with soft, safe, sports equipment. Paula Roediger: (530) 272-4788 - - [email protected] Ginaa Fistarol: [email protected] DELIVERY TRUCKS: There is a size limit to the height and length of vehicles entering the estate, due to damage inflicted in the past to our asphalt driveway, overhead trees, and overhead banners. Please check with us on this prior to hiring rental companies. (Sorry, but we can no longer accept rental deliveries from trucks over 28’ in length, or more than 10’ high.) GARBAGE DISPOSAL: Garbage disposal is your responsibility. Immediately following your event, bag your trash and recyclables and take them with you. If you are planning to complete cleanup the next day, lock your closed bags in The Snak Shak or The Barn overnight – out of the reach of bears and raccoons. We require that, before leaving the property on Day Three, your appointed clean-up committee takes time to walk all areas that have been used and pick up any refuse that may have been dropped or blown around. (A Clean-Up Check List is posted on the inside wall of The Snak Shak.) GARDENS: Our gardens have been designed to be enjoyed by all so please visit them, read, meditate, relax, nap, but resist picking the flowers so others may also enjoy them. Do not touch or disturb any sprinklers, and remember to close all gates behind you to keep the deer out! Banners, flags, garden umbrellas and furniture may not be moved or removed, nor may the iron benches, since they have been leveled in place. GUESTS: Please keep in mind when inviting Guests to your wedding that you are inviting them to our home. We will expect them to conduct themselves in a mature, responsible, and respectful manner. HANDICAP ACCOMMODATIONS: We provide level, designated parking, ramped walkways, and suitable restroom facilities on the estate. Motorized and transport chairs can easily navigate the grounds. All areas of the property are handicapped accessible. INSECTS: Insects are usually not the concern here that they are at lower elevations. Even so, some brides wish to place a basket of sprays or wipes on tables. (You should avoid using citronella candles, as many people are allergic to their smoke and scent.) rev. 08.16

INSURANCE: THE EVENT HELPER, Sharla Cartzdafner: 477-6521, 1020 McCourtney Rd., Suite B, Grass Valley, CA 95949. (Local & great rates!) www.theeventhelper.com/#6iagh5 … use this exact web address, and mention you were referred by The Roth Estate. This will take you directly to a form set up solely for our estate’s use. (Fast and easy with one phone call!) Coverage must be for a 3-day period: the first day to set-up, the day of the event, and day three for clean-up. If you are not using THE EVENT HELPER for your insurance, but rather another company, please tell them that the policy must read: Insured: The Roth Estate, 12282 N. Bloomfield Rd., Nevada City, CA 95959 The County of Nevada, 950 Maidu Ave., Nevada City, CA 95959 Your insurer may send this document to: Jan Roth, The Roth Estate, 12282 N. Bloomfield Rd., Nevada City, CA 95959 (530) 478-0556. Or Email to: [email protected] . LAKE USAGE: Some couples prefer a casual picnic and swim party at the Lake, rather than a more formal Rehearsal Dinner on their first day here, to make the event more family-friendly – a kind of “play day.” If this is your intent, please advise your insurance agent that he/she must include coverage for “usage of a water feature.” LIAISON: You must designate one individual as your Liaison. This should be someone not heavily involved in the activities of the day, as they will be too busy to effectively communicate with Jan should problems/concerns/questions arise. Your Liaison cannot be anyone in the wedding party or any of your vendors, i.e. caterer, florist, photographer, musician, etc. (Most brides depend on an aunt, cousin, or close friend.) MUSIC: The Musician’s Stage in The Rose Garden has an electrical outlet. The 10x14 Musician’s Stage at The Wedding Garden, also has an electrical outlet. In The Party Pad, the Musician’s designated area is in the corner of the 40’ dance floor – electrical outlets are close at hand, and the entire area is illuminated from above by 30” Japanese Lanterns. We strongly suggest a guitarist, or IPad with background music, be stationed in The Rose Garden prior to the ceremony (it encourages guests to stay in there,) and again for your cocktail hour following the wedding. A vocalist or ensemble is generally present at the Ceremony in The Wedding Garden; and a DJ or Band may perform at your Reception in The Party Pad - all subject to earlier approval. All loud dance music must end by 9:30 PM, per County ordinance, at which time the clean-up usually begins. Lights are turned out at eleven PM, and The StoneHouse locked at that time. Although we are situated on 13-acres, we are keenly aware that sound travels and do, therefore, make every attempt to be considerate of our neighbors’ privacy. Subwoofers may NOT be used. NOTE TO MUSICIANS: Please bring all your own equipment; we cannot lend extension cords or anything else you may have forgotten. Three parking spaces are reserved for the musician(s) near the stage; do not drive into The Party Pad or beyond the gates of any gardens. More cars than 3? Please carpool and park down at the Lake. Per County ordinance, ALL music must end at 9:30 rev. 08.16

PM, so please call the last dance right before that, at which time your managers will begin to clean up. Subwoofers may NOT be used. OFFICIENT: Should you need an Officient for your ceremony, I can refer you. Please be sure to tell whomever you hire exactly what you want them to wear. PARKING/SHUTTLING: The driveway is paved and lengthy, thus visitors tend to fly down it. Kindly observe the 5mph speed limit throughout the property, and watch carefully for children and domestic and wild animals (a deer walked onto the wedding lawn once, right into the middle of guests!) AND ~ remember to, later, exit slowly to minimize dust and rock damage. We can park a total of 80 cars on the estate. If you are expecting more than this number, we suggest you consider shuttling them from the Rood Community Center nearby. Organizations using our property for large fund-raising events do this very successfully. If you are interested in securing shuttling services for your guests – perhaps to and from their hotels, please call: Gold Country Telecare at (530) 272-1710, 8-5 Monday through Friday. (Many weddings held here have utilized this convenient service.)



Note: You will need to appoint TWO PARKING ATTENDANTS to direct guests to the proper areas. They MUST check in with Jan one hour prior to your ceremony, as guests always begin arriving that early; these attendants may be seated when the Ceremony begins. Duties: they will decide who parks where ~ upper-level parking is available for the Bridal Party and those with a Handicap Permit ~ most other guests will be required to park down at the Lake. (You may also want to ask them to move the chairs from The Wedding Lawn to The Party Pad after your marriage ceremony, or appoint others to handle this.)

PETS: Sorry, absolutely no pets allowed, unless they are here only a brief time as participants in your wedding ceremony. Please advise your guests of the “no animals” rule. PHOTOS: We reserve the right to use any photos we ourselves take of your event in our marketing. REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER SPACE: There is a Chest Freezer onsite for your exclusive use, to allow you to bring in your ice the day before your event. Limited refrigerator space in The Snak Shak can be made available to you for your flowers, but the refrigerator is too small for wine and food storage; please use ice chests for this, or depend on your Caterer. You should bring your wines in already chilled the day of the event, or keep them in the Chest Freezer for a few hours. Caterers are expected to make their own food/beverage accommodations. SIGNAGE: You may post your group’s sign or hang balloons at the front entrance on N. Bloomfield Road, but please do NOT attach anything to or cover up our business/address sign (per the Fire Department,) and do not nail or screw anything to trees. The two large signs by The Party Pad MAY be covered, but NOT removed. SMOKING: While discouraged, smoking is allowed on paved areas such as roadways and patios, where our small Sand Buckets are placed. You will be required, before you leave, to dispose of your litter by emptying these buckets into a garbage can and returning them to us. SNAK SHAK: The Snak Shak is available for your use, and most of the equipment in it: baskets, vases, garbage cans and recycle receptacles, two large ice chests, three coolers, three hot water pots, and sundry serving trays. We also have 300 stainless steel knives/forks/spoons and rev. 08.16

5

you are welcome to use them with the understanding that they must be washed and returned to The Snak Shak within 3 days after your event. (There are no washing facilities onsite.) On Day Three, the day of clean-up, a mop bucket and cleaning products will be placed in The Snak Shak for your use. Please wash out any garbage cans, beverage buckets, ice chests, coolers, and all else that you have used, so they are left clean for the next event. Please leave the refrigerator and floor clean. All washing should be done in the gravel driveway outside The Snak Shak (so the water runs downhill,) and not on the woodchips in The Party Pad. Please remember, The Snak Shak is not set up to be used as a kitchen for meal preparation; it is simply offered for the convenient storage of your supplies. SPEED LIMIT: The speed limit on our estate is 5mph and is strictly enforced for the safety of our animals and your guests. Please enter & exit the property slowly to keep the dust down. TABLES AND CHAIRS: We have twelve 8’ banquet tables, four 6’ tables, and seven older 60” round tables which, together, seat 142 people. You may use these or rent tables, as you wish. Our 50 old, white plastic chairs are suitable only for a very casual event (such as your Rehearsal Dinner) but not for a wedding, so you will need to rent chairs. Tables may be set out in The Party Pad (we do not allow tables to be placed on the lawn,) the night before your wedding. Chairs may be set up on the lawn 90 minutes before the ceremony and must be removed immediately after. TELEPHONES: Few cell phones will work from here. In the case of an emergency, please use the phone in The StoneHouse. TOILETS: We allow the Ladies to use the toilet in The StoneHouse; The Gentlemen are to use the portable unit that you will need to rent and have delivered. We recommend you request a new, large, “handicap-access unit” in a quiet grey color. (Smaller units are mostly used on job sites, are situated on skids, come in garish colors, and are not always attractive, level and stable.) We recommend: Quick Response at 273-7538. They deliver nice units here often, and can advise you. WATER: Like most people in Nevada County, we are on a well, and while the water is potable, we have been blessed with far too much iron and manganese; it tastes terrible! If you plan to use large coolers of water in which to mix beverages, you will need to bring them here already filled with water. (You may borrow our 3 coolers a day or two beforehand and fill them offsite.) WEATHER: The weather is usually suitable for outside events May 15th through October 15th. Please be advised that we have no indoor facilities. Should there be inclement weather on your reserved day, we will approve your last-minute rental of tents, canopies, or heaters, provided they are set up on the woodchips in The Party Pad and not on the Lawn, where they would sink in. WEDDING ARBOR: If you wish, you may use our 7’ X 9’ Chuppah (pronounced hoopa) as your wedding arbor. It was designed by a photographer to best suit the overall space of the stage, and to allow for photos from the various vantage points of your seated guests. It snaps together quickly, and can be easily wrapped with light-weight fabric or flowers. (Its 9-ft. height allows for dramatic swags.) Or you may choose to rent and use your own arbor, or none at all. WEDDING REHEARSAL: As part of your wedding package weekend, there is no charge to you if, after your Wedding Rehearsal, you want to hold your Rehearsal Dinner here on the estate; many couples do, enjoying casual BBQs, Pot Lucks, even catered dinners – saving the expense of hosting their guests at a restaurant. Spending this additional time here will allow your wedding party to leisurely walk the grounds and fine-tune the details of the next day. On this night before rev. 08.16

your big event, you may stay and enjoy the grounds until eight o’clock. (Please no music this night; our neighbors have kindly agreed to be tolerant Saturday nights only….)
